A nun and In the Middle of a Way Down to this world

in #culture7 years ago (edited)

As finishing to look around Donghaksa temple, mom and I were ready to get back home.

It was already time for lunch. The road was look like below

As walking along the road, I found the lotus flowers. I thought the lotus was already falling. But the lotus was well bloomed like that in a jar one by one.

The colours of lotus were so beautiful, so I took the pics each by each.

Aren’t they beautiful ?

I missed to post a strange and mysterious tree in Donghaksa

Tree came through a wall of the temple. It seemed that they didn’t remove the tree when they had built the wall. Why didn’t they remove that tree ? What do you think about that ? For the beauty of the wall ? To show the tree to people ? In my opinion, I think it is deeply related to teachings of Buddha. “Never Kill the life.” Even though the trees are not directly related, they must’ve concerned the teachings of Buddha.

In the middle of a way down to the world where I
belong, I saw a nun far way walking into mountain slowly. The atmosphere was fantastic. I know it is not easy to looking that kind of scene.

I tried to take photos. While looking slow, but she walked actually fast and faded away. My loyal but cheap zoom lense could not follow to her.

Monks’ appearance always make me think the meaning of the life once more. Strangely enough I have some friends who try to want to be a monk. Very special resolute decision is needed to be a monk. Monks must cut all their private relations completely. Even they must forget their parents and kids. What make them cut all their break all relationship ?

I am meditating from time to time, I feel some internal peace while meditating. But how I could break all karma in this world.

Anyway I took the photos of nun as below.

It was really sorry I could not take that nun’s front.
But it was my best, I should satisfy with those results.

thx for sharing

Lotus flowers are beautiful and they are India's national flower too. meditation is all about being conscious of yourself, your surroundings, no need of being a monk if we can do it by practicing meditation.

I really like that tree coming through the wall; I prefer to think they built around it.

Yes, I think so

Before lunch, you get 3 very interesting topics, beautiful lotus flowers, a very unique tree, but I do not know the type and name of the tree and I agree to be allowed to live because of the teachings of budha and a photograph of a nun who can inspire us all about life this .. thanks for sharing .. @slowwalker

Welcome ! 😄

So beautiful and peaceful :3 I would love to move over and live in the temple for a long period of time, you and your mom are blessed to have all that peace. It's madness trying to come with spirituality in the big city with all the chaotic energies everywhere.

Much love from me brother <3 Can't wait to see what your future article holds .

Thank you friend

I love the flowers they are so beautiful!! I especially love the tree I've never seen a tree in a wall before! I'm so happy you and your mom had such a good time bless you both🌷

Thank you
my mom told me thank you to you

Oh that so sweet!!! I love seeing how close you are it reminds me of my mom and I, she passed three years ago so I love to read your stories with your mom, have a beautiful weekend😊😊🌷

upvoted you ....such pretty pictures of lotus :) Loved it ...

All these photos are really nice and the colours of lotus are beautiful, but I hhave to say that the photos of nun as below is really fantastic for me. Really inspiring and touching, perfect for an artwork ^_^

Thank you for your comment

Thanks, beautiful post

Amazing lotus flowers...and amazing story about culture... Korea is the best culture

You can't say the lotus are beautiful.
You can't say the color of lotus is beautiful.

There are no words to describe their delicate features!🔥

Now I started follow u..

Great photos, I like the one tree came through the wall best.
And yes, it's a shame, I sometimes like to take photos of people's faces and can't. Faces are telling a story and it's nice to look at.

Thank you

It's like the place I'm seeing in Korean or Chinese martial arts movies :) I love it @slowwalker! It's a great post :)

Wow! Really idyllic... I like the colours and the scene!

The lotuses are really beautiful))) And the nun has interesting clothes))) I have never seen such before))) Thank you for making us happy with your stories)))

There traditional clothe

Thank you so much for the answer)))

Monks have to cut ties with their family? That's some unhealthy cult shit. Also, why build a wall and then have a giant tree growing out of it where you can climb over the wall?

Due to a Strong desire resolving the all karma, they cut all ties in this world.

I love your work, and learning the culture there as well as the language, so this is very valuable for me. I hope to bring my skills as a photographer there one day and live for a while. Thank you again, my frined

I like the flowers ! Nice shot, never i visit the asian country, i hope one day to visit it. Lovely place.

Beautiful photos and interesting about the tree growing through the wall! Lovely story!

I think we could all benefit of a few days of solitude at the place like this. It really grounds you! Thanks for the support!

Why not?
some solitude and tranquility help our spirit healthy

I really think that the tree was not cut to respect Buddha's teaching to never take a life.
The lotus flowers are so beautiful my friend, wow each one is different! The shot you got for the nun in the back is just an amazing one, she is in the walking movement and you got the perfect shot!
Nice one!
@progressivechef

What a lovely set of photo's & a good story behind it. I have never seen a tree like this. The lotus plant (the flower of life) photo's are awesome too.

aww I wonder how many people pass that tree and don't notice the message behind it. Thanks for capturing the moment and message.

r u mute me

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing!

Must be peaceful to be a nun out in the beautiful scenery there. My favorite photo is the tree with the wall built around it - very monastic :-)

The flower is very nice sir!
I like it very much.
I also often share stories about flowers on my post. the flowers are so beautiful!

beautiful scenery, beautiful place and cool postings. Congratulations @slowwalker
